Reviews, ruminations, ramblings, and reminisces about the movies. Gave up on the periodic thing. I'll try to post as much as possible about movies I watch and awards shows I am handicapping.

337. Enchanted (2007)

-Now she thinks that you and I... -Kissed? -Yeah, something like that.

I'll admit, I was a little leary when I saw the first trailer for this film. Angie and I saw it in the theater because it looked like a harmless little musical and I loved Amy Adams in "Junebug". Boy did she win me over in this movie. Everyone involved succeeded in not simply lampooning the Disney Princess genre, but outdoing it. The "talking" chipmunk in real life was hysterical, and Adams performance was seriously Oscar-worthy. The songs are the type that you catch yourself singing days later and the performances (including Cyclops, who can simply never get the girl...) are pitch perfect.
